Caring for someone living with dementia can leave families and caregivers feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and uncertain about what to do next. Many people are doing their best with little training, limited support, and approaches that simply are not working anymore.

As a PAC-Certified Certified Dementia Educator, Buffy Briggs understands both the emotional and practical realities of dementia care. Through personal caregiving experience and professional education, she brings a compassionate, real-world approach to helping caregivers feel more confident and supported.

At CEDAR Dementia Consulting, the focus is not on what has been lost, but on preserving abilities, building connection, and reducing distress for everyone involved. Caregivers learn how changes in the brain affect communication, behavior, and daily interactions — and how small changes in approach can make a meaningful difference.

Using Positive Approach to Care® techniques inspired by Teepa Snow, Buffy provides practical education that helps caregivers respond with skill, dignity, patience, and understanding instead of frustration and fear.

Whether you are a family caregiver, care professional, or senior living community, you deserve tools that help create more positive moments, stronger connections, and better care outcomes.
